The journey of this remarkable pink spinel began deep within the earth in what is known today as Ceylon, or Sri Lanka. Millions of years ago, tectonic activity and fluctuating geological conditions set the stage for the formation of this spinel. Under extreme heat and pressure, elements such as magnesium and aluminum interacted within the earth's crust, leading to the crystallization of spinel. The specific trace elements present during its formation gave this gemstone its distinctive and intense pink hue, which is a definitive mark of its quality and allure.

Graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the clarity of this pink spinel further accentuates its pure and vibrant color intensity. These minor inclusions, which occur naturally during the growth of the gemstone, serve as unique fingerprints, distinguishing this spinel in a world of uniformity. With an excellent polish, the surface of this gemstone veritably gleams, reflecting light with an outstanding brilliance that is complemented by its unique color and transparency. Each facet has been expertly shaped to maximize the stone’s innate luster and visual appeal, underscoring the skilled craftsmanship involved in its preparation.
